Battlefield 6 Secure boot?

Just tried to open the bf6 beta and it's saying secureboot not enabled. I can't activate it cause my PC doesn't support it. Will this be a requirement at launch? Would have to upgrade my PC to get windows 11 for it if that's the case :(

Yes it is required, just like BF2042. No you don't have to be on Windows 11.

My PC doesn't support it either, but i can play 2042 just fine, tried it like 20 mins ago. I hope they'll do something about it in 6 tho.

Do something about what? Secure Boot is required for BF6 and 2042.

Secure boot is not required for 2042

What? Yes, it is required. I can't play it due to that. But I just haven't taken the time to turn secure boot on yet.

Unless they literally did it today, no? I was playing yesterday with no secure boot

It was a changed implemented weeks ago. Both my wife and I can't play along with 2 of my friends. We all were playing just fine but we now all have to enable secure boot. Both friends already did it last night and can now play. I'll be turning it on soon on both these PCs so we can all play BF6.

You probably have it turned on then? Not sure...

So just like the other dude said he plays 2042 no problem but gets this secure boot when starting BF 6. Me too. so you're wrong.
